Real Wedding: Golriz + Devon’s Super Creative Wedding

I absolutely love when readers share their uniquely creative weddings with me – and this might be one of the most creative I’ve seen. It just goes to show you that you can have an amazing wedding – all about the two of you – even if you are on a budget. A bit about their day from Golriz, Devon and I wanted every ounce of our wedding to burst with creativity, but we had a very tight budget. This was actually a blessing as it forced us to be really creative and think outside the box. It also meant we had fun adventures to pursue together like hunting for the ‘perfect’ couch on Craigslist!

One of my favorite parts of the process was building an art installation for our event space. Devon had always dreamed of creating an art installation with vintage televisions, umbrellas and bare light bulbs…so this was his chance! We hunted high and low for TVs that had big knobs and dials – the sales staff at the thrift stores must have thought we were mad! Devon figured out a way to connect all the bulbs to one switch and even installed a dimmer (yes, I’ve obviously married MacGyver). We stacked 10 vintage TVs and streamed a slideshow of pictures of ourselves with music. Hanging above the TVs were approximately 20 white umbrellas and bare globe bulbs. The guests loved taking their photos next to this installation.

And this video by Full Frame Cinema – I know I’ve said it before, but after watching this – and I know, it’s a bit long, but if you are thinking you don’t need a video of your wedding day, this will change your mind. I love that you can see how happy and full of love Golriz + Devon are. It’s so fun to watch your wedding day on your anniversary each year – ok, we’ve only had one anniversary so far, but that is our plan :)

Thanks so much Golriz + Devon for sharing your amazing day with us. Hopefully this will inspire you guys a bit to really make the day about the two of you and that it’s ok to think outside the box. If you want to see more photos from their day, be sure to check out their website. :)

OMG. There are no words. This is whimsy, creative, imaginative, quirky, beautiful, fun…okay, I guess there are A LOT of words to describe this wedding. How does one couple hold so much imagination? I’m completely blown away right now. Wow.

How adorable! I love the moment in the video as the groom is waiting for his bride, the giddiness and joy he exudes. I couldn’t help but smile! What a touching keepsake for years to come:)
Great style too, her shoes are beyond perfect.
A beautiful couple.

hi everyone!
we are so excited to see our special day featured here.
when you visit our website you will also see pictures from the day after the wedding ‘cowboy, damsel, bear’ BBQ and photoshoot. it was so much fun to continue partying with our out-of-town guests the next day.
thank you for all the lovely comments,
golriz & devon

Oh my goooooood, I honestly cannot express how beautiful I think this is! Watching the video you felt like you were there and that you could feel the love of this couple. Such awesome details, and I think it was a perfect representation of the couple.

Wow, these guys have really made their wedding experience their very own – through their creativity they celebrated, expressed and shared who they are as a couple, which is what weddings are really about! Inspiring!
One of the classiest wedding videos I have ever seen too!
Thank you for sharing!

This may just be my favorite wedding you have posted so far! The wedding video definitely won me over, it was incredible. Seeing how happy they are and how much love they have was really special. Thanks for sharing!

This wedding was absolutely amazing!I’ve loved every single detail…The cerimony was incredible and you happiness so beautiful…I’d love to know the name of the songs and bands in the video…Could you help me? Congrats! a.

Also, the best part of the wedding video: the groomsman watching tutorials on YouTube to learn how to tie his bowtie! SO CUTE! This definitely convinced me to get a videographer for sure! (something like that just can’t be caught completely with still photos.)

Seriously, I am sitting here crying and laughing at the same time watching their video. This wedding convinces me even more that sometimes (most times!) having to be creative and focus on who you are as a couple rather than how much of the wedding budget should be spent on invitations results in the BEST, most meaningful events ever. Congrats on a spectacular day!!!

I clicked the link and got sucked into the video and ended up watching almost the entire ceremony! I laughed, smiled, cried, and awed at the entire thing.. and I don’t even know these people! I can only imagine how special it was for all those present and involved. So so so cute! Was the song Devon sang to you, Golriz, an original of his? The “hey little lovely, i think you’re magical…” song. So perfect!

Wow, this has got to be one of the most spectacular, moving, and creative weddings I have ever seen. The videography is incredible and the footage of the ceremony itself had me in tears! And I don’t even KNOW these people!

Absolutely blown away by your creativity and love for each other! I tried to find the reading that the gentleman read and am having a hard time finding it exactly. He read beautifully and it brought tears to my eyes. I would love to share this reading with my family at my baby sisters wedding. Please Help. :)

I know this post is quite old, but if you happen to see this comment Golriz, could you please point me in the direction of the source for your wide streamers? I love the look of them, however the only thing I can find are gossamer streamers. I much prefer the opaque look of the ones you used to the transparent gossamer streamers. Thanks!
